jazz club programme - live music 9 p.m.

Adam Tvrdý (guitar), Ondřej Kabrna (piano), Vít Švec (bass ), Michal Hejna (drums)

As the name implies, this band can be heard only in AghaRTA club. The drummer and club manager Michal Hejna, regularly invites musicians with whom he likes to play. Especially sensitive and romantic pianist Ondřej Kabrna, bassist Vit Švec, and ultimately universal guitarist Adam Tvrdý. The repertoire reflects the musical tastes of all those involved, including their compositions.

“Go after the inner power of music” is what connects them via old, forgotten yet unforgettable, new or newly discovered melodies by Klugh, Silvestri, Grusin, Mancini, Metheny, Corea and many more. “Common denominator” of all arrangements is shift to jazz and thus the band casually floats through the genres. Thanks to this compactness in rendition of the songs their repertoire can with no hesitation handle both film melody and folk song or their own works. Pleasing acoustic sound enhances fresh repertoire, elaborate vocals and impressive jazz solos.

David Fárek (saxophones), Jaroslav Frýdl (guitar), Jan Hála (keyboards), Vladimír Kliment (bass guitar), Ondřej Sluka (drums)

The only band on the Czech music scene that is dedicated to an almost missionary promotion of fusion jazz. The name Captain Fingers is borrowed from guitarist Lee Ritenour - originally his nickname. The band is composed of versatile jazz musicians who want to recall the best compositions from the 1980s and 1990s, when jazz was influenced by other musical genres and much new has emerged. Especially thanks to the excellent performance of the band's guitarist Viktor Jerman you will hear songs of the best representatives of fusion jazz such as Fourplay, Steps Ahead, Pat Metheny, Yellowjackets, Larry Carlton, Jeff Lorber, Lyle Mays, Marcus Miller, and of course Lee Ritenour and others.
